Comando G Navatalgordo 2024
The Land
The Navatalgordo is the village level expression of this area of the Sierra de Gredos. The vineyards are located at the far western edge of the DO Cebreros. This unique region is characterized by white sandy soils with a high proportion of quartz. This is a mineral that is the product of weathered granite. The wines from here are known for their low pH, firm tannins, and a chiseled fruit expression. The vineyards are farmed using biodynamic methods.
The Wine
This Garnacha is made with native yeast fermentation, with a maceration period that varies based on the specific parcel and the growing season, but typically is between 40-60 days. The wine is then aged in a combination of used oak barrels and concrete vats. The wine has a focused purity with an emphasis on both structure and fruit, showing a clear expression of Navatalgordo's high altitude, old vine character. They have a clear aromatic character, while also having a mineral backbone.
The People
Comando G was founded by Dani Landi and Fernando Garcia, who had a specific vision to re-define Garnacha through a commitment to low intervention viticulture and winemaking, and to highlight the unique terroirs of the Sierra de Gredos. They have a clear desire to show the unique character of their specific villages, and are an inspiration to the next generation of winemakers in the area.
